Beer: Ratings & Reviews

Reviews by roblowther:

Looks like mead. Hazy golden color, very little head & it doesn't last long. Smells good but WOW that honey comes on strong. Tastes of honey and flowers, lavender maybe? Good and very unique. Great up front, actually, but the flowery aftertaste is a bit overwhelming. Well-carbonated and oily on the tongue. Drinkability is limited by that flowery aftertaste. Just couldn't do more than one of these. Unique and worth a try but this one will never be a session beer.

(Served in a snifter) best before L20110910 13:42 A- This beer has a crystal clear apricot body with a billowy off-white head and a sea of microbubbles swirling to the surface. S- The full honey aroma has a shampoo quality, but in a nice way. There is a fruity quality with a softer yeasty note to follow. The finish is pears with a calendula flower aroma. T- The dry circus peanut fruity yeast flavor has a softer wheat malt note and some fresh honey flavors. There is a soft tang of hop bitterness with a dry hop flavor in the finish aswell. M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with no alcohol heat and a light fizzy cleaning finish. D- The great smooth fruity yeast and honey flavors blend together nicely and hide the 8%abv nicely. The sweet flavors are supported nicely by the hops so that it doesn't turn cloying.

Bottled under license by the Cheval Blanc in Montreal. Light golden ale witha medium head that did not disapear too quickly. The honey taste is very discreet. I could recognize the usual taste of the yeast use by Cheval Blanc. Enjoyable but not exceptionnal

It has a dirty brown color that is extremely cloudy. It looks great as a beer but if I didn't know it was a beer I would be afraid of this beverage. The smell is probably the best part of this beer. Sweet and herbal with a touch of honey, hazelnut, citrus of some kind. Perhaps more orangey then citrus. On the first sip it is obvious that it is orange or mango. The finish is very dry. It's like biting into a honey wheat biscuit with some herbal mango jelly. Pretty cool beer.

Appearance – Hazy yellow colour with a large size fizzy white coloured head. There is a below average amount of carbonation showing and there is some fairly good lacing. The head lasted for around 5 minutes before it was gone. There was also lots of yeast floating around the beer.

Smell - Wheat, bananas, lemons, coriander/cloves

Taste & Mouth - The beer has an average amount of carbonation. I can taste bananas mixed with some lemons and a coriander/cloves spiciness. I can also pick up on the alcohol and a touch of a honey sweetness. It ends with a lemon/banana tart aftertaste.. that also comes across as medicine like for some reason.

Overall – The scent was definitely the highlight of this beer, very pleasant. It had shades of a Unibroue beer but in the end it fails in comparison. The flavours just need a little bit of work to make this a truly great beer. I wouldn't buy this one again, but it wasn't a waste of money either.
